The Great Medicine
We want our lives to be better. We want to feel better. The reality is that many don’t feel good and constantly want better lives. By God’s common grace some things can be cured and changed, but the reality is there is only one solution. In a culture of excessive medication there is a solution. Jesus is that ultimate solution. He brings the ultimate change and redirection that one needs. He is the Great Physician and Healer. He says, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Matthew 4.17). Jesus came to change everything. I love what David Powlison says about what Jesus brings to our life to make life altering changes. He says, Only intelligent repentance, living faith and tangible obedience turn the world upside down (David Powlison, “Biological Psychiatry,” in Journal of Biblical Counseling 17 (Spring 1999): 3-4). This is how one’s condition is changed. This is the only true path to healing, joy, fulfillment and eventual ultimate, forever cure.
